Digital solution for salutogenic brain health: a pilot sequential multiple assignment randomised trial (SMART) protocol for clinical implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Middle-aged adults with chronic conditions including diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension are at higher risk for cognitive decline. However, there is a lack of a targeted solution for this population. This study aims to develop a digital solution for salutogenic brain health targeting this population, assess its clinical effectiveness and evaluate the implementation in primary care settings by local champions, that is, nurses.

Methods and analysis

A type-I hybrid effectiveness-implementation design with a sequential multiple-assignment randomised trial will be adopted. 160 adults aged 40-64 years old with chronic conditions hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and type-II diabetes will be recruited from three National University Polyclinics in Singapore.
